the bell thing.... good or bad? there is no correct answer.
i've started to shout where i am going. like turning off a main road. whilst still on the main road, on approach to my left turn i will ring bell twice and then signal left. countless times i have looked peds in the eye with my arm sticking out yet they still start to cross.as i am also about to start making my turn.
people are looking for cars and indicators flashing..,. somehow bikes dont register.
so ive started to shout 'Turning left' as i approach. I understand some peopele may think i have no right to do so and peds have a right to cross whenever they like. but you don't do it when a car is attempting to turn off a main road so why would you do it when a bike is trying to do the same.
